Description

Climate science and energy awareness are complex topics, with rapidly developing science and technology and the potential for controversy. The principles use a literacy-based approach to provide a sound foundation to build learners' understanding of these topics.

The set of climate literacy and energy awareness principles provides a framework for teaching the science behind these issues. Each principle provides a summary and a link to a more detailed discussion of what makes the topic important, why it can be challenging to teach, and suggestions for grade-level specific teaching strategies and links to relevant teaching materials.

There are nine principles as well as an online energy awareness quiz.
